Why did the DTT shutdown not affect Movistar Plus+?
The cessation of HD television on February 14 only hurt the channels as Digital terrestrial television. That is, private channels or calls viewed on platforms such as Movistar Plus+ or similar were not affected and could continue to be consumed in standard quality.
Thus, Movistar customers who used the operator’s television service with an old TV that was not HD compatible did not suffer any serious consequences. Although several Spanish families had to continue watching channels using HD decoders, Movistar Plus+ subscribers continued to use SD channels as before.
This is possible because Movistar does not receive channel signals directly from DTT. However, despite some watch faces still being in SD, the operator has demonstrated its commitment to HD quality and even Ultra High Definition (UHD). So, it’s only a matter of time before the platform abandons standard quality and finally goes HD.
